Chapter 128 The chaotic four penumbra conference
"Everyone, you all know why we are gathered here today..."
The Third Tsuchikage of the Iwagakure Village, Ohnoki, looked around at everyone and spoke in a deep voice:
"The behavior and style of Konoha today are intolerable to us. Not long after the Second Shinobi World War, Konoha was ready to spy on the Jinchuriki of Sunagakure!"
"For the peace of the ninja world, we must unite..."
"Shut your mouth, shorty!"
The Third Raikage waved his hand and his deep voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Ohnoki's long speech: "We are all the Kages of the villages here. We don't have time to listen to your nonsense that you tell to the Genin!"
"You all wanted to invade Konoha, but now you don't have the confidence? If you have something to say, just say it! If you have something to say, just fart!"
"You stinky barbarian, what are you talking about!" Ohnoki broke down in an instant, floated into the air, glaring at the Third Raikage.
"Are you deaf? Can't you hear what I say?!"
The Third Raikage showed no sign of weakness, grinning and saying, "Why don't you fight us first?"
"Konoha said that you are really right. We have raised so many ninjas and now they can't get enough food. You, the Tsuchikage, can't help but send them to the battlefield to die, right?"
The Third Raikage was very confident and mocked his old enemy with sarcastic words. Among all the hidden villages, only the Hidden Cloud Village had no problems and was in good operating condition.
The Kumogakure and Iwagakure have been enemies for decades and they always fight when they meet.
Ohnoki's face was gloomy: "Seeking death? Don't be ridiculous!"
"For a barbarian like you, it will be no problem for us Iwagakure ninjas to work together to surround and kill you!"
The Third Raikage sneered: "Oh, let's try it then?"
While these two Omura Shadows were arguing, Mifune, the leader of the Iron Country, could only sit aside and watch the scene with a wry smile.
Although the Iron Country is a neutral country, it is just a statement.
For example, right now, the scene of the meeting was completely out of his control, and the content was to launch a war against Konoha, but Mifune could only watch and wait for these war maniacs to forget everything in his mind after the meeting...
If possible, Mifune did not want this meeting to be held in the Iron Kingdom, but he was not in a position to refuse.
"You two, please be patient."
The Third Kazekage spoke to comfort Ōnoki and the Third Raikage, and said in a deep voice: "The theme of our meeting this time is to strike at Konoha, please don't lose your composure for now."
"We are all the shadows of a village, so we still need to maintain basic etiquette. However, we should also avoid using useless empty words."
The Third Kazekage acted as a peacemaker.
The village's economy was on the verge of collapse, but the relationship between the Sand Village and the Wind Country was becoming increasingly tense. Unable to obtain sufficient financial assistance from the Daimyo of the Wind Country, the Third Kazekage could only hope for war to reshuffle the cards.
It's not just due to economic reasons; the desire for war within Sunagakure is also rising sharply.
The Sand Village's top advisors Chiyo, Ebizo, and Chiyo's grandson, the genius puppet master Sasori, kept telling him that the Third Kazekage must never forget the hatred between him and Konoha, and must use war to avenge...
The two potential successors to the next generation of Kazekage, Rasa and Ye Cang, are constantly fighting each other, trying to determine who is the winner through future wars.
In the eyes of the Third Kazekage, it was inevitable that Sunagakure would start a war. The only thing to do was to bring in other allies to attack Konoha, allowing Sunagakure to gain ground while reducing losses.
"Fengying, are you in a hurry?"
Salamander Hanzo spoke coldly:
"It seems that Konoha's intelligence on the Sand Village is also very accurate. Your country's economy is hopelessly rotten. Are you eager to get others to join you in fighting Konoha?"
"That's right. Your Sand Village is in such a bad position. Besides fighting Konoha, you can fight the Iwagakure Village. What else can you do?"
"Don't be objective here. No one here will be a pawn for you Sunagakure."
There was a gleam of hatred in Hanzo's eyes.
During the Second Ninja World War, the battle between Sand Village and Amegakure was evenly matched. Chiyo even cracked the poison of the salamander, causing Hanzo and the Amegakure Village to suffer huge losses.
In the eyes of Hanzo, if the Sand Village hadn't intervened, the Rain Village might have successfully defeated Konoha. Not only would they have gained a fertile land, but they would also have become one of the six great hidden villages. He himself would have been qualified to be called a "Kage"...
The Third Kazekage narrowed his eyes and said, "Hanzo, Konoha's evaluation of you is really fair!"
"Who the hell are you? You don't even have the title of Kage, yet you're pointing fingers here. How ridiculous! Do you really think you're a demigod in the ninja world?"
Salamander Hanzo snorted coldly: "Who the hell are you? You are the only Kage in the ninja world who is not favored by even your own Daimyo..."
The Third Mizukage watched this scene in silence and shook his head exhaustedly.
In the Hidden Mist Village, the bloodline families did not obey him, the ninja clans who secretly obeyed him were considered to be good to him, and the Kaguya clan who controlled the corpse veins were about to start an armed rebellion...
Outside the Hidden Mist Village, the Kages from various hidden villages started quarreling when they met.
As expected, in this ninja world, unity is something that is simply impossible to achieve... The Third Mizukage sighed sincerely in his heart, but was fired upon the next second.
"Why are you shaking your head? Mizukage..."
Ohnoki keenly caught this scene and brought up the past: "If it weren't for your crazy Second Generation Mizukage who came to bite our Lord Mu during the First Ninja World War, perhaps Konoha's problems would have been solved long ago!"
"Before you shake your head at us, think about your own Hidden Village. You have so many bloodline limits, but you can't even control people's hearts?"
Ohnoki went completely crazy and killed people.
The Third Mizukage slammed the table and said, "Old man, the Second Tsuchikage could be killed by Kirigakure, and so can you, the Third!"
"Then you try it? Can my bloodline elimination be blocked by a Mizukage like you who can't even control your bloodline limit?"
For a moment, the meeting turned into a melee mode.
From the moment Ōnoki tried to seize the initiative in the discourse, and then was ignited by the sabotage of the Third Raikage, the villages with blood feuds began to attack each other, and verbal attacks were flying everywhere...
The guards behind them were extremely vigilant in mobilizing their chakras and secretly forming seals in order to cope with the Kage-level melee that might break out at any time!
But after a while, the actors, who were talking till their mouths were dry and their mouths were dry, stopped arguing, although they all looked unsatisfied.
Everyone secretly gained something in their hearts - "It seems that the information from Konoha is true. The current situation of Kirigakure/Iwagakure/Amegakure/Sandagakure/Kumogakure is like this..."
The quarrel was not as simple as it seemed.
These shadows used the information Qingshui provided to sabotage each other. Combined with their own reactions and the tension of the shadow guards, they all had an understanding of each other.
Konoha's information is true!
Therefore, after their weaknesses were exposed, they both chose to bow down to Konoha first.
"Okay, it's time to end this boring trial..."
Ohnoki's expression changed instantly, and he put on a heavy tone: "Everyone, let's check for spies after returning to the village. Konoha's infiltration into us is too serious. These top-secret information are all on the Hokage's desk."
"Now, I hope that everyone can unite. Even if you have to fight for your own interests, you have to wait until you conquer Konoha!"
The Third Raikage took over the conversation and said in a deep voice: "I agree with the dwarf on this point."
"In the past two Ninja World Wars, we were afraid of Uzumaki Mito's attack, and we always got cowardly after uniting halfway, and turned around and stabbed each other in the back and fought together, allowing Konoha to catch its breath."
"In the past, although Konoha kept saying that it followed the will of the first Hokage and avoided war, in fact, it was just because of its own lack of ability. In the Second Shinobi World War, it was very exhausted when dealing with the combined forces of Sand Village and Rain Village. This is all we can see."
"Now, Uzumaki Mito is dead! In order to prevent the emergence of new Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara in Konoha, we, the Kage who do not want to be enslaved or annexed, must unite together to wipe out this most dangerous village!"
The Third Kazekage nodded silently.
This time, he was not in a hurry to refute the Third Raikage.
The Third Raikage was telling the truth. Konoha's performance in the Second Ninja World War did not demonstrate any real strength.
In the past, Konoha had Uzumaki Mito in charge inside and Senju Tobirama in command outside, and all the ninja clans obeyed the orders of the Hokage. The two villages of Sunagakure and Amegakure were so powerful that they could not be defeated with one hand if they were tied together.
From this perspective and the information, Konoha's strength has declined too much, especially after the death of Uzumaki Mito, it was the weakest period...
But the problem is that Konoha's attitude is unexpectedly tough, and it has demonstrated extremely powerful intelligence capabilities.
This puzzled the hidden villages. What on earth gave Sarutobi Hiruzen the confidence to be so arrogant?
The Third Tsuchikage and the Third Raikage were even a little dazed. They seemed to see the tone of Senju Tobirama in the reply, which was not like something Sarutobi Hiruzen could write...
"Konoha's attitude is out of character. In my opinion, there are only two possible situations..."
Ohnoki held up two fingers and said, "First, Konoha has produced a groundbreaking genius, a seedling of the Ninja God, and this has allowed Sarutobi Hiruzen to regain his confidence."
"Second, they are using their excellent intelligence capabilities to scare us, trying to disrupt the united front of the major hidden villages against Konoha."
"In my opinion, whether it is the first or the second possibility, it can only make us more resolute in our war attitude towards Konoha. If there is a seed of the God of Ninja, we must join forces to strangle him before he fully grows up!"
"If they are using the intelligence to bluff us, it only means that Konoha's weakness has penetrated deep into its bones, and Sarutobi Hiruzen is helpless and can only take an unconventional approach!"
Each shadow nodded thoughtfully.
Should Konoha fight?
If there were ninjas of the level of Hashirama Senju or Madara Uchiha, they would definitely not be able to defeat them at all.
So what if there is a young God of the Ninja World or Shura of the Ninja World?
Then we have to fight. No one dares to bet that the next epoch-making ninja of Konoha will still have the thinking of Hashirama Senju, rather than Uchiha Madara or Tobirama Senju.
What if Konoha has nothing?
Needless to say, first destroy this village that poses a threat to the ninja world, then feed all the hidden villages by stepping on the corpses of Konoha, and the rest of the competition among the heroes will be a matter of ten years or so.
The situation in the ninja world is so strange.
The pressure brought by Qingshui delayed the progress of the Ninja World War, but it also made them become more united.
The major hidden villages that had met in advance expressed their dissatisfaction with each other in advance, and also warned each other that backstabbing was not advisable, at least until Konoha was conquered.
The situation often changes into another state in a flash.
But in the end, everything will turn out to be what Qingshui wants to see.
Qingshui does not want a melee among the major hidden villages. He hopes to lead Konoha to fight one against four, to maximize his reputation in Konoha, to gain the shock and gold coins brought by the entire Konoha, and even to confront the entire ninja world!
Since we are going to start a war, we should continue to stimulate it...
"I have a suggestion, everyone."
The Third Kazekage spoke in a deep voice: "We can't tell the truth about Konoha by talking here. We have to see it with our own eyes."
